Customer Reviews

fabulous illustrations

This gem of a book follows the footsteps of a beautifully painted bear from fall to winter and his encounters with other wildlife. The illustrations are breathtaking, and the text is simple yet informative. Every page has one to two large printed sentences. My 5 year old loves studying the pictures and helping me read the text. The bear's face is full of different emotions and each scene is very vividly drawn. The author is a very gifted artist. I was delighted to find another 56 of his books in our local library.

what happens in the autumn and winter for bears?

When reading this with my three year old son he liked finding the animals. Raccoons are one of his favorites. And he thought it was hilarious that I suggest he sleep all winter like a bear. The colors in the illustrations are soft and beautiful. We enjoyed reading this one together and I think it is a warming story perfect for autumn time.

A book for Autumn

Ordered book to attend a event at the zoo with the author. Author is great! My daughter Autumn, loved the book, especially the title!

Seasonal Book

This is a beautiful, easy to read book, that is excellent for use in the pre-k to 2nd grade classroom for discussions on the seasons and Autumn in particular. It also makes a good choice for classroom units on bears. Arnosky consistently does inspiring work.
